Fingerprint technology is not just for law enforcement any more. From the military to correctional facilities to educational testing services; both the public and private sectors have realized that affordable, positive biometric ID technology can help tell friend from foe, improve security in controlled-access facilities, reduce waste and cut fraud.

Local Law Enforcement
AFIX made PC-based AFIS/APIS affordable for small police departments and dramatically improved your forensic capabilities. We continue to provide the most user-friendly AFIS/APIS solutions and have steadily added biometric ID tools for field use that makes the latest high-tech crime-fighting tools surprisingly affordable.

State Police Agencies
Rhode Island, Alaska, California... every state's needs are different, which is why we work with you to create a custom solution. But no matter what your needs, AFIX PC-based systems deliver better returns-on-investment. Our systems support state-level databases, and allow seamless communications with municipal systems and federal databases.

Federal Agencies
AFIX offers portable AFIS/APIS systems that give mobile task forces the ability to perform 1:n database searches against your own database, or the federal IAFIS system. Our systems can be used right in the field; they're scalable; they can incorporate cutting-edge iris ID technology and can be configured to support your needs now, and grow in the future. No company has been more committed to inter-system compatibility.

Separating combatants from noncombatants in places where few people have identification papers; conducting forensic investigations... As missions evolve, the line between military and police-type actions becomes blurred.

AFIX provides reliable, portable, custom-configured biometric ID solutions including identification in the field with handheld units capable of 1:n database searches, powerful forensic tools, and biometric systems that positively identify persons for the purposes of access control or managing detainees. We've supplied systems to every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and many of our allies; our systems - and our service - are field-proven.

1.3 million people live on Indian reservations. That's the population of Miami, St. Louis, and Las Vegas combined, with the same crime problems, including drugs and gangs. But Tribal Police departments fight crime with about half the ratio of police officers.

AFIX backs you up with reliable, easy-to-use AFIS/APIS systems that put positive identification and powerful forensic tools in your hands. Eliminate the delays and cost of outsourcing, and put that time and those resources to work fighting crime.

We know that jurisdictional conflict is a frustrating problem for Native American law enforcement officers. AFIX helps by making sure your system can communicate seamlessly with local police, county, state, and federal databases, as well as other Tribal agencies.

Stop worrying about releasing the wrong inmate. AFIX systems use the live-capture of biometric patterns to positively identify inmates in seconds prior to release or transfer. Our systems can be installed at a fixed location, or be fully portable when linked to a laptop PC.

Confirm inmate identity with software that will pull up images and data from inmate files, and put comprehensive information in front of your officers. AFIX systems can also make staff and visitor access much easier to control and monitor.

AFIX has fixed-base and portable/mobile solutions that can help you to positively identify employees and visitors, or conduct your own AFIS/APIS-based forensic investigations.

We work hard to make AFIX systems
intuitive and easy to understand, but any system is only
as good as its training and technical support.

We don't just want to sell you technology.

We want to deliver a working system that really helps you make more arrests and build stronger cases in law enforcement settings, gain a tactical advantage in military contexts and positively confirm identification in secure facilities.

AFIX Technologies, through funding provided by the US Department of State and specifically through the Central America Regional Security Initiative, or CARSI, has upgraded the AFIX Tracker system originally installed for the Belize Police Force in 2002, establishing a central repository of fingerprint and palm print arrest records in the capitol, Belmopan, and installing new AFIX Tracker workstations and live scan systems in remote police stations across the country.

An excerpt from the announcement posted by the US Embassy in Belmopan states: "CARSI represents the United States' response to deep seated concerns about the deteriorating citizen safety environment in Central America. Soaring crime and murder rates are unsustainable; the economic and social impact of crime is beginning to impact the underlying fabric of society; and, if crime rates continue unabated, political stability and order could be threatened when citizens believe that the organs of government are incapable of protecting them from harm. CARSI focuses on interdicting narcotics, firearms, and bulk cash and on disrupting gangs and organized crime, and concurrently supports efforts to enhance the capacity, professionalization, and effectiveness of the region's police, prosecutors, judiciary, courts, and prison systems."

AFIX Technologies installer/trainers spent two weeks onsite in Belize in May 2011 to install the new, upgraded AFIX Tracker server, workstations and live scan devices, and to provide training to more than twenty Belize Police Officers and Crime Scene Investigators. Police stations across Belize are now able to utilize AFIX Tracker workstations to capture and transmit new fingerprint and palm prints taken during arrests directly to the national database in Belmopan, and also to search latents recovered from crime scenes against their local/regional database and against the national database. AFIX Technologies is now preparing to assist in the conversion of the archive of card-based fingerprint records held in the police archives for inclusion in the digital AFIX database now established for the country of Belize.

Back in the 1980s, the Federal Bureau of Investigation wanted to implement a fingerprint ID system as part of a proposed national point-of-sale firearm control and law enforcement program. They knew that such a system would only be practical if AFIS technology could be made accessible to local law enforcement.

The challenge was that no one had ever created an AFIS that ran on affordable, familiar PCs. The Phoenix Group, a privately held Kansas Corporation, was formed in 1989 to meet that challenge.

Initial research and development was funded by the sale of company stock to individual investors. In 1992 The Phoenix Group received applied technology matching funds from the Kansas Technology Enterprise Corporation to aid in product development.

Although the FBI's firearms control system never came to fruition, the first PC-based automated fingerprint identification system, AFIX Tracker, was launched in 1998. The Phoenix Group was renamed AFIX Technologies in 2005.

Our first customer was the US Army Crime Lab. Now, AFIX systems are in use in over 300 sites across the U.S. and more than 20 other countries. Law enforcement agencies of all sizes have realized that our our systems are easier to use and more cost effective than previous AFIS/APIS generations.

Our team has never stopped innovating

We won the race to be first-to-market with a PC-based AFIS, and again with the first PC-based APIS. But we're not resting on our laurels. AFIX Technologies has gathered together an experienced and innovative management team that is committed to keeping AFIX on the leading edge of biometric ID technology.

Harrison County Sheriff's OfficeKristi Johnson"AFIX Technologies provides immediate, helpful, and friendly customer support. The IT department is top notch and is always available to answer questions big or small. It's wonderful that a person actually answers your calls and not some long automated phone system! I've been a happy Tracker user for five years...and I'm looking forward to many more!"

Pensacola Police Department Carolynn Stephens "We had 32 AFIX hits in only one month and over half were from palms!!! We are keeping our detectives busy making arrests."

Norman Police Department Frank Pasierb "Tracker is the single most important piece of equipment in our laboratory."

Mattoon Police Department Detective Seiler"The AFIX system quickly became an invaluable tool in the management of fingerprint data."

Gulfport Police Department Lt. Chaix"Since 1996, I have only seen a couple of fingerprint cases go to court. Over the last year our agency has made over 50 idents. We also use AFIX Tracker for side by side comparisons of footwear and gloves to help jurors see the connection."

Irving Police Department Clark Nethers "The AFIX system is the most stable network of computers we have requiring little to no maintenance. Since implementation of the Verifier, our prisoner release error rate has gone to zero for over two years. Our ability to identify prisoners with the Identifier has expedited the intake process and offers a one stop shop for users to print out print cards when they are needed. The method of integration between our RMS for demographics and mug photos and our livescan for biometrics is seamless. The users only need to press a button to export the data from RMS and roll the fingerprints for capture. The import, index, storage and backup of data is all automatic and needs no human intervention at all."

Tuscaloosa Police Department Sgt. Tim Guy"We have had several cases where AFIX Tracker was essential to the investigation.

The first is a case where an unknown suspect stealing cars, keeping them for a few days, and dumping them in various locations around town. He would always steal cars in which the keys were left in them or he would steal new cars off of dealerships by prying open the lock boxes attached to the windows. A Tracker hit led to identifying the suspect and subsequently charging him with nine counts of Auto Theft and three counts of UB&E of a vehicle.

The second case involved a suspect who was burglarizing college students' residences. After multiple burglaries, there was no suspect and pressure was on to find one. A Tracker hit led to identifying the suspect and charging him with multiple counts of Burglary and eleven counts of Fraudulent Use of a Credit Card.

Lastly, we had a hit on a guy who out of prison on "supervised" released. Turns out he was using his new found freedom to break into cars. A Tracker hit enabled us to identify him and subsequently charge him with multiple counts of Unlawful Breaking and Entering a Vehicle."

Rock Island Police DepartmentMary DeVine"To date, we have had 38 hits out of 130 cases entered. I highly recommend AFIX Tracker and am delighted with the results we have gotten so far. We are looking forward to a very prosperous new year."

Thornton Police DepartmentDoug Young"With the use of AFIX Tracker, we have been able to re-activate cases that were closed due to no suspect information as well as clear old cases by utilizing the reverse search process."

Polk County Sheriff's OfficeBill Thomas"The advantage of utilizing AFIX Tracker is your ability to set your search criteria, and your ability to control the quality of the images in the database."

Labette County Sheriff's OfficeWilliam Blundell"It's a great tool to assist agencies with working crimes. The county boundary lines for criminals don't exist."
